At GTC 2016, NVIDIA announced their behemoth DGX-1 supercomputer which features up to 170 TFLOPs of compute performance. The DGX-1 is an all-in-one supercomputing solution that houses several Tesla P100 graphics boards that were launched today. Based on the Pascal GPU architecture, the Tesla P100 delivers an insane boost in compute performance and allows high-performance supercomputing for deep learning. The NVIDIA DGX-1 is a complete supercomputing solution that houses NVIDIA’s latest hardware and software innovations ranging from Pascal and NVIDIA SDK suite. The DGX-1 has the performance throughput equivalent to 250 x86 servers. This insane amount of performance allows users to get their own supercomputer for HPC and AI specific workloads. “Artificial intelligence is the most far-reaching technological advancement in our lifetime,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and co-founder of NVIDIA.…
